摘要
Well-defined manus and pes print couple, likely from a trackway attributable to a sauropod dinosaur are revealed on a fallen block of Ravenscar Group sandstones in a cliff fall at Whitby, Yorkshire, England. The pes print displays four, possibly five toes and thus closely resembles that of the ichnogenera Brontopodus and Parabrontopodus. They are here referred to Brontopodus cf. pentadactylus Kim and Lockley, 2012. Impressions of a scaled integument are present around parts of the pes. The prints were likely made by a sauropod with a hip height of between 1.92 m and 2.83 m. Copyright (c) 2024 The Geologists' Association.
